Microwaveable Frozen Breads and Method of Making The Same

Abstract

The present invention discloses a microwaveable frozen bakery that has a more appealing color, fresher aroma and a softer inner texture compared to products of prior art when prepared using a microwave oven for final cooking before consumption. The product has a sealed golden brown colored skin with a baked appearance but without the large amounts of moisture loss during preparation compared to its baked product counterpart, rendering a higher moisture preservation in the bakery. When microwave cooked, the high moisture crumb and sealed skin compensate or prevent moisture loss and produces a softer bread texture. Method of preparation comprises mixing a dough composed of flour, water, yeast and other additives, portioning and making up the dough, fermenting, proofing, steaming, and quickly baking the dough at high heat oven, where a sealed golden brown colored skin and a high moisture crumb are developed, and freezing the bakery.
